Problems solved by technology

However, in the vehicle where the friction material has been used to the brake pad, there are some problems.
Otherwise, when parking outdoors in night for a long time, the friction material has absorbed a moisture in pores thereof.
Further, when temperature of the brake is increased by repeating the braking operation and the component contained in the friction material is adhered to the rotor, odd noises of low frequency are created at starting the vehicle also due to stick-slip which might be caused between a film of the component and the friction material.
In case the mixing rate of each of the friction modifiers is less than the lower limit of the specified values, the creep noise will not be effectively eliminated.

Abstract

A friction material for brake including reinforcing fibers, a friction modifier, a lubricant, and a binder, characterized by containing, as a part of the component of the friction modifier, 2 to 5 wt % zeolite, 0.8 to 2 wt % antimony oxide and 0.2 to 1 wt % fluorine based polymer.

Description

[0001] 1. Field of the Invention[0002] The present invention relates to a friction material, and more particularly relates to a friction material for a brake which may be used to such as vehicles to reduce braking noises. More specifically, the present invention relates to a brake pad or a brake lining which may be used to braking a vehicle.[0003] 2. Description of the Related Art[0004] A friction material to be used to a brake pad, a brake lining or a clutch facing of vehicles, for example, automobiles, is generally formed as a composite material composed of reinforcing fibers, a friction modifier, a binder, etc.[0005] However, in the vehicle where the friction material has been used to the brake pad, there are some problems. When passing puddles or washing the vehicle, a rotor and the brake pad are wetted by a water. Otherwise, when parking outdoors in night for a long time, the friction material has absorbed a moisture in pores thereof. In such cases, the brake is dragged by a cr...
